Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1594 The real reason

"Liu Bin is right. Even if you go out to sea with us, you can only catch some grouper. It's almost impossible to catch this mackerel."

Lei Dayou smiled, realizing he wasn't underestimating Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua.

There is indeed an opportunity, but it is extremely slim, or even worthy of being called an opportunity at all.

Zhao Dahai told Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua that he caught the big mackerel on the way back from fishing. He suddenly saw a very large fish appear to the left front of the speedboat.

"The fastest one grabbed a poppy and threw it over, and luckily this mackerel was a bit off, so it took a bite."

"Otherwise, you won't be able to catch this fish at all."

Zhao Dahai simply recounted the entire process of catching the mackerel.

"About 150 meters!"

"Mr. Wu! If you were on the speedboat, you wouldn't be able to hit this fish even if you saw it, let alone the fact that a fish like this has a very fierce bite and a very strong pull."

“You guys definitely can’t handle this fish. Only Zhao Dahai’s strength can take it down.”

Zhong Shizhu was not joking.

A fish like this is not something an ordinary person could handle.

Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua, and especially Gao Zhicheng finally understood why Zhong Shizhu had said that at the beginning.

This was a fish that was spotted temporarily, meaning it was seen while the speedboat was moving.

Spanish mackerel, especially such a large one, swims very fast. If you don't react in time, you won't be able to find the fish at all; it will have already disappeared somewhere long ago.

Not to mention that the distance at that time was 150 meters. Ordinary people, even top experts, do not have the ability to shoot that far and accurately.

This alone is something only Zhao Dahai can do; no one else can.

The pulling force of a 200-pound mackerel in the sea is no joke.

"Two hundred catties of fish?"

"This is absolutely terrifying. I can't imagine how much strength a fish like this could have when it's struggling so desperately in the sea."

Wu Weimin was very envious and wanted to try the pulling force of such a big fish, but he knew that if his hook bit such a fish, there would only be two outcomes: either he would be pulled into the sea, or the rod in his hand would be pulled away and fall into the sea.

Are there many fish like this?

Gao Zhicheng knew that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou were right. Even if they encountered a fish like this, they definitely wouldn't be able to catch it. But if it was a slightly smaller one, they might have a chance.

Zhao Dahai shook his head.

There are definitely Spanish mackerel in the sea, especially in this area, but whether you can find them, especially the larger ones, is hard to say.

"Isn't that spot where Brother Da Wen used to fish a lot of mackerel? If you really want to fish for mackerel, you can try that place."

"However, on the other hand, since you didn't bring a speedboat with you this time, it's going to be a bit inconvenient if you're planning to go fishing on your own."

Zhao Dahai remembered a place where Ding Dawen's fishing boat had stopped not long ago, a place teeming with Spanish mackerel, a place where Spanish mackerel frequently appeared.

If Gao Zhicheng and his group really wanted to catch big mackerel, going out to sea with their speedboat wasn't a good option. However, they could go to that place, but this time they weren't taking the speedboat with them.

Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, and Lin Zuhua immediately shook their heads.

"Zhao Dahai".

“When a few of us go to a place like that, there is indeed a chance of catching fish, but the chance is really not very high.”

“I did catch fish in that spot last time, but it took a long time and a lot of effort. I always felt it was just luck.”

"Even if we wanted to go fishing there this time, we might not be able to catch anything, so let's just not go there at all!"

Gao Zhicheng shook his head without even thinking.

Last time, a few of us went fishing for mackerel in a speedboat, and it really took a lot of effort to catch any fish.

Gao Zhicheng was very clear about his own abilities. He really couldn't find out where the fish were like Zhao Dahai. He could only rely on luck to catch fish.

Fishing by chance is really not a good thing, mainly because it's too inefficient, and you never know when you'll catch a fish.

"Correct!"

"One of us is fishing from the big fishing boat, and the other is going out to sea to fish with your speedboat."

"If it's just me, then forget it!"

Wu Weimin nodded. Gao Zhicheng was right. It wasn't that he couldn't catch fish when he went out to sea, but the chances were extremely small, almost nonexistent. If he had to say, he could only catch some small fish.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai".

“We are very clear about our capabilities. If we were to go out to sea, that would be one thing. Even if we were to drive a speedboat to the island reef foam area where sea bass are fished, it would be almost impossible to catch a sea bass weighing three or four hundred pounds.”

"The rest need no further explanation." Lin Zuhua wasn't joking. If Zhao Dahai had taken them to the island reef foam area to fish for sea bass in his speedboat, they could have caught a lot, even until they didn't want to fish anymore. But they absolutely couldn't assume that just because Zhao Dahai could catch so many fish on his speedboat, they could catch the same amount in the island reef foam area.

If you really think that way, then there's something wrong with your head; you don't know your own limitations.

"Didn't you guys come here hoping to catch some big grouper? I wonder how your catch went?"

"Any large groupers biting?"

Zhao Dahai smiled, but it was actually a fact that if Wu Weimin and his group were to go out to sea in their speedboat, it would be extremely difficult to catch a big fish.

They can catch a lot of fish on their own speedboat, but that doesn't mean they can catch a lot of fish when they go out to sea in their own speedboat, or even go to the same fishing spot.

Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, and Lin Zuhua were very upset when Zhao Dahai asked about this matter.

"No way? There really aren't any big groupers left?"

Liu Bin found it a bit strange. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be no large groupers, but judging from the looks and expressions on Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin's, and Lin Zuhua's faces, it was clear that there were no large groupers, or at least none that they had caught.

“We don’t know what’s going on. We tried it once last night, around this time before you came back, and each time it took about an hour, or even two hours, and there were really no fish biting.”

Gao Zhicheng sighed. He really didn't know what was going on. Anyway, he, Wu Weimin, and Lin Zuhua just couldn't catch any big groupers.

"There are so many small groupers that we're even using double hooks to fish for them, and the key is that we can actually catch them. But we haven't seen a single big grouper that we're looking for, weighing over 100 pounds."

Lin Zuhua recounted the entire fishing process in detail, even mentioning how Zhao Shi, Shi Guangming, and Ding Dawen used double hooks to fish for grouper.

"what?"

"Are you using double hooks to fish for grouper?"

Zhao Dahai was very curious and immediately turned around and called out to Ding Dawen, who was directing people to work. He really hadn't expected this.

Ding Dawen walked over quickly. It must be about fishing for grouper with double hooks. He immediately told Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming about the idea they came up with. Since they were fishing on a large fishing boat and there were plenty of fish in the sea, they decided to give it a try. Unexpectedly, the results were not only good, but extremely good.

"Sometimes you only catch one grouper, but most of the time you catch two."

"There are so many groupers at the bottom of this deep pit where the fishing boats are moored, and you can still catch groupers from the time you started fishing until now."

Ding Dawen recounted his experience of double-hook fishing for grouper, explaining that he had been fishing there until the speedboat returned. He noted that while the grouper bites weren't always aggressive, every hour or two, fish would start biting again, and the bites would be incredibly strong, with one cast after another almost non-stop.

"Zhao Dahai".

"What's going on here? Why are there so many groupers? The most important thing is that there are so many small groupers, there's no reason why there aren't any big ones, right?"

Gao Zhicheng was very frustrated by this. If there were no fish in a place, there would be nothing to say. But now this place not only has fish, but also a lot of fish. It's just that these fish are a little small. But normally, if there are big fish, there should be small fish, and vice versa. There are so many small groupers here. There is no reason why there are no big ones.

"Zhao Dahai".

“We were just discussing this! If there are big groupers here, we'll continue fishing here for a few more days to see if we can catch any. If there really aren't any big fish here, we might as well go out to sea with your speedboat and go fishing. It's better than fishing for these small fish here, right?”

"If I had gone fishing with you on your speedboat last night, most of the time I would have caught some grouper weighing a few dozen kilograms, or other sea bass or something, but no matter what, there would have been a chance to catch a mackerel weighing around two hundred kilograms, right?"

Lin Zuohua was talking about a giant mackerel weighing over 200 pounds that was being hoisted up by a crane.

Zhong Shizhu and the others were right. Even if they encountered a fish like that, they might not be able to catch it, or even that they definitely wouldn't be able to. But at least they had a chance.

If the fish stays here, there's absolutely no chance.

"Logically speaking, there should be large groupers on the seabed where the fishing boats are anchored. Even if there aren't many, there must be some. The main thing is that it's been such a long time. Even if we've caught all the original large groupers, there will definitely be other large ones coming."

After careful consideration, Zhao Dahai concluded that it was impossible for this place to be without large groupers.

"what?"

"Zhao Dahai".

"Is there a large grouper in this area, but we just don't have the skill to catch it?"

Wu Weimin breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately shook his head.

If there are large groupers in this deep pit under the fishing boat, that's a good thing. At least Lin Zuhua, Gao Zhicheng, and I have a chance to catch such fish. However, we didn't catch any fish in the two or three hours last night and this morning, which means that the large groupers here are really very difficult to catch.

"This situation is really not surprising at all."

"There are a lot of small groupers, which is a good thing, but it's not necessarily a good thing either. The good thing is that when these small groupers gather together, they attract the attention of larger groupers. In other words, when the larger groupers see so many small groupers gathered together, they know there's plenty of good food here, and they're very likely to come over soon."

"However, if there are many small groupers, one direct result is that these small groupers will frighten the large groupers, mainly because the large groupers will suddenly become very wary."

"This is why there is a high probability that there are large groupers in this deep pit, but these large groupers are unwilling to take the bait."

Zhao Dahai pondered for a while and felt that this was very likely. It was indeed very possible that the large number of small groupers had frightened or made the larger groupers more vigilant. From this point of view, it was not surprising that Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, and Lin Zuhua had spent half a day without catching any fish.

“In that case, we really can only go out to sea fishing with your speedboat! There’s no need to waste so much time here.”

As Gao Zhicheng listened, he kept nodding. Zhao Dahai's statement was very likely true; these groups of small groupers could indeed arouse the vigilance of the larger groupers.

The biggest problem now is what to do next.
